Betatrophin levels demonstrate a significant negative correlation with fasting blood glucose in obese adolescent females.
Betatrophin levels associate inversely with fasting glucose in obese adolescent females; leaves open any clinical role pending prospective studies.
This study aims to analyze the correlation between the levels of betatrophin and fasting blood glucose (FBG) in obese females. This study used a cross sectional study method of 26 obese female aged 18-23 years old, body mass index (BMI) 25-35 kg/m2 and body fat percentage (PBF) above 30%. Betatrophin levels were measured by ELISA method, while FBG measurements used ACCU-CHEK® Performance. The data analysis techniques used the Pearson Correlation test with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results obtained the average of betatrophin level (165.707 ± 96.124) pg / mL and the average of FBG (90.576 ± 7.094) g / dL (p = 0.021). Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that there is a correlation between levels of betatrophin and FBG in obese adolescent girls with a negative correlation direction
